Derek and Brad: Please fix UI annoyances before moving on to Beta 4

from Elemental Forums

Hi guys,

This game is getting better and better but there are a number of UI annoyances that drive me crazy with the game - even to the point of quitting at times.

At the top of the list is the non-ability to position troops when entering a tactical battle. This is so damned annoying! Is there a way to have glaring issues such as this addressed before proceeding to the city management beta?

Thanks. :)

I'm not sure if that even counts as one of the many UI annoyances Das ;-) Each release has a few UI nuggets but nothing we've been asking for yet.  :-(

Well UI will change with major patch changes I suppose, when they redo the cities they are going to need a new interface for the cities, etc. that is why  ( I think ) that they are delaying putting in top notch UI in the game until the very last moment, so they wont have to redo the UI work all the time.

Agreed. I think Tactical Battle placement is an important addition and would only add to the strength of tactical combat, without adding new systems like flanking, zone of control, etc. Seems like a fairly obvious and simple way to improve tactical battles without adding new complexity.

Well If comes to UI I wish for proper event queuing and "zoom to event", icons at armies in strategic map (so I didn't have to switch to cloth) and shard number info in Tactical:D I find first two quite crucial.
